I really like how it looks so far but I wish they could change the elite four process like they should have you to battle in a tournament after getting all badges like in the show before challenging them. it would make things more exciting

No, it wouldn't. If anything, it would make it seem like getting eight badges is so banal that they need tryouts to pick the real good trainers out of all those who got them.

I'm going to miss the sprites, but they will probably make a Ruby and Sapphire. That means they will probably make new Ruby and Sapphire sprites. Also how are they going to make battles on water. I don't think your Fennekin can swim or float on water. wouldn't that hurt fire types?

i hope that SpotPass is added to these games. i would be nice to receive updates from other players or allow you to send mail to homes in game. i wish there was a way they could make a game have links to like youtube or facebook on the 3ds. would be nice to also see progress of other players. makes me think that they will; have something related to dream world. i hope they add an updated version of the GTS and something better in the way we can add friends or bigger list or something. ;-p

Why are we even arguing putting logic into a game? They would probably just make the BG blue and the area that your pokemon's standing on is blue to make it look underwater. Probably with corals and seaweeds on the BG. We always have that kind of problem(?) through 5 gen, it works, why change it?

I think 3D and enhanced overworld graphics in general will be a huge challenge. Before I haven't really cared about how dopey-looking the playable character looks because for the vast majority of the time I don't see the detailed character, but in this game it seems like we will be seeing the main character all the time and that means that his/her look matters more. I don't want to look like a little kid when I run around and in the past I've been able to imagine that I don't, but with the enhanced graphics that won't be the case.

What if they add dive again as an outside battle move? How is your non-water type pokemon suppose to breath? In the old games you just assumed your pokemon was battling on the pokemon who was using surf. Are they going to show your pokemon on the surfing pokemon while batting? What about dive? You always thought your pokemon surfing was able to give you air and your battling pokemon. What about now? How are they going to show that? What ever it is we're wondering about battles on water. Last can we teach pikachu surf and fly?

Probably both. I have high hopes of Friendship being utilized for higher EXP gains.
The higher the happiness of your Pokemon, the higher the gained EXP.

Yes! And I also want the IV system to tie along with the Friendship method. Like, the higher the happiness, the higher the IVs. But of course, the IV gain would be irreversible. That would tremendously help me and others who want to get into the competitive scene but have sub-par Pokemon!

I was hoping that your pokemon would follow you around like in HG and SS, (was hoping in White and White 2, but it never came). I do think that 3D is a step in the right direction.
I'm really going to miss sprites now that I think about more. They've always been around.

I miss the sprites too, but for different reasons.

Game Freak is notoriously lazy, and I guarantee that the old Pokemon are just going to use the same horrible Nintendo 64 graphics that they've always had.

They looked okay on the Nintendo 64, but it's been 14 years since Pokemon Stadium, and let's face it, they're getting pretty dated. (Check out Moltres in Pokemon Colosseum- soooo pixelated)

I mean, some games have graphics that age like a fine wine (Fallout 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Planescape: Torment, A Link To The Past, Chrono Trigger etc), and then there's the Nintendo 64.

We see in the trailer that the older Pokemon look up to date. Pikachu looks on-par with Fennekin and the gang, with Pokes like Weavile and Audino look slick. Remember, GF wouldn't get lazy with the oldies, as it could lose them tons of money :P

Fixed.

Anyway, it remains to be seen whether they all get updated. My guess is no. I guarantee you that nearly every water-type is going to float above the ground. Just you watch.
(Also, it's been pretty much confirmed that they've used the Pokedex 3d models with new cel-shaded textures, which are Pokemon Stadium/Snap models with new textures).

Ummm.... no. They're using completely new models. Compare the Pikachu with Pokedex 3d Pro, and you see same pose, different model. Plus, Magikarp is flailing on the ground in the trailer, and to a lesser extent, Froakie's on the ground too. You really need to look carefully and research before you post. ._.

Anyway, I want to see what RoT looks like this gen. Hope it looks epic!
